I wanted to thank all of you for taking the time and spending the money on postage to send me your expired coupons. (If you are new to Addicted to Saving, I send expired coupons to a military community in Vicenza, Italy that I’ve adopted. The military families overseas will then use the expired coupons at their commissary and PX or BX.) Every month I go to the mailbox I rent at my local UPS store. The box typically is jammed full of small envelopes. The owner always sees me coming and as I open my box and pull out the envelopes, he goes into the back and brings me huge boxes overflowing with envelopes and boxes full of coupons that didn’t fit into my mailbox. Your support and participation is absolutely amazing and I wanted to thank all of you for helping this wonderful cause.
If you are interested in participating, please start gathering your February expired coupons and follow the steps below.
Below are the requirements if you are interested in with Addicted to Saving’s Couponing for the Troops:
1) Mail your expired coupons to: Addicted to Saving, PMB 105, 8348 Little Rd, New Port Richey, FL 34654
2) Send me all coupons that expired ON or AFTER February 1st. (Commissaries will accept older expireds, but I’m only going to send one month old coupons since I will do this once a month)
3) Do not send me printable coupons and do not send store coupons (i.e. Target, Publix, Walgreens etc) because commissaries overseas will not accept them.
4) Please Please Please cut your coupons out and then separate your coupons into two categories Food & Nonfood. If you mail all of your coupons to me in one envelope, use an elastic or paperclip to keep the two categories separated. Food is considered anything eaten by humans.. Food is also considered gum. Nonfood is considered toiletries, dogfood or catfood (since it’s not consumed by humans), vitamins, medicine, etc.
That’s it! I will do the rest of the work! I need all of your coupons in my hand by March 14 th!
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
So glad you posted this! I have been looking for someone to send expired q’s to. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!
